Plain paper

The printer is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bondpaper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality orhandling reliability. Always test samples of paper before buying to ensurethat it provides acceptable performance. Some important guidelines whenselecting paper are:

☛☛☛☛ 1. Your supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used ina laser printer.

☛☛☛☛ 2. Preprinted papers must use inks that can withstand the printer’s fusingtemperature. (392 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade)

☛☛☛☛ 3. If selecting a cotton bond paper, paper with a rough surface such as cockleor laid finished paper, or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, you mayexperience less than optimal performance.

✒ NoteThe manufacturer does not warrant the use of any particular paper. Theoperator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer.

Labels and Transparencies

The printer will print on most type of labels and transparencies designed foruse with a laser printer. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since such material is more stable at the high temperatures in thefusing unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of theprinter, because the label stock may stick to the drum or rollers and causejams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed betweenthe labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire page withthe only exposed spaces being lengthwise down the sheet. Using labels withspaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jam or printproblems.

All labels and transparencies used in this printer must be able to withstand atemperature of 200 degrees centigrade (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for aperiod of 0.1 seconds.

Label and transparency sheets should not exceed the paper weightspecifications described in the User’s Guide. Labels and transparenciesexceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and causedamage to your printer.

Print quality, reliability and performance of labels and transparencies cannotbe guaranteed.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF UNSATISFACTORY LABELS ORTRANSPARENCIES IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY ORSERVICE AGREEMENTS.

jams and misfeeds.

Fig. 1-29

• Different types of paper should not be loaded at the same time in thepaper tray, it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

• Do not print envelopes by Duplex printing.• Be sure to select the same paper size as the paper to be used from your

application software, or correct printing cannot be obtained.• If your application software does not support paper size selection on its

print menu, you can change the paper size with the MP Size setting inthe Paper Menu on the Control Panel. For more information, see Menusin Chapter 3.

1-34

✒✒✒✒ NoteIf envelopes get smudged during printing, set the print density to a highervalue in the QUALITY settings with the panel operation switch for darkerprintouts. To adjust the print density setting, see “Control Panel” in Chapter3.

• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.• All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.

Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, someenvelopes will have feeding and print quality problems because of theirconstruction. A suitable envelope should have edges with a straight, wellcreased folds and should not have more than two thickness of paper alongthe lead edge. The envelope should lie flat and not have baggy or flimsyconstruction. Purchase quality envelopes only from a supplier whounderstands that the envelopes will be used in a laser printer. All envelopesshould be tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results.

✒✒✒✒ NoteThe manufacturer neither warrants nor recommends the use of a particularenvelope because envelope properties are subject to change by theenvelope manufacturer. The entire responsibility for the quality andperformance of the envelope lies with the customer.

Adjust the image density correctly.See “Control Panel” in Chapter 3.

The edge of the paper is hazy gray. If paper is curled, replace the paper.

The back of the printed output ishazy gray.

Check if the size setting on the paper tray dialmatches the setting on Control panel. If not, set itto the size and feed direction of the paper loadedin the tray.If you print something after printing on paperwhose size is smaller than the actual documentsize, the back of the next output may be hazy gray.See “Print Media and Sizes” and “Settings from theprinter driver” in Chapter 1.

Image quality varies when printingon thick paper or on transparencies.

Set to “Thick paper” by switching the lever insidethe tray 2 or by specifying this for the Multi-purpose tray from the printer driver.See “Control Panel” in Chapter 3.Adjust image density to darker.See “Control Panel” in Chapter 3.

BBaarr CCooddee CCoonnttrroollThe printer can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet, EPSONFX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL emulation modes.

Print Bar Codes or Expanded Characters

Code ESC iDec 27 105Hex 1B 69

Format: ESC i n … n \

Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the segment ofparameters “n … n”. For further information about parameters, see thefollowing “Definition of Parameters.” This command must end with the“ \ ” code (5CH).

[Definition of Parameters]

This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parametersegment (n … n). Since parameters are effective within the single commandsyntax ESC i n … n \, they don’t take effect in the subsequent bar codecommands. If certain parameters are not specified, they take the defaultsettings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start (“b” or “B”) orthe expanded character data start (“l” or “L”). Other parameters can bespecified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be a lower-case or upper-case character: for example, “t0” or “T0”, “s3” or “S3”, etc.

Appendix�24

" Bar Code Mode

n = “t0” or “T0” CODE 39 (default)n = “t1” or “T1” Interleaved 2 of 5n = “t3” or “T3” FIM (US-Post Net)n = “t4” or “T4” Post Net (US-Post Net)n = “t5” or “T5” EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC An = “t6” or “T6” UPC En = “t9” or “T9” Codabarn = “t12” or “T12” Code 128 set An = “t13” or “T13” Code 128 set Bn = “t14” or “T14” Code 128 set Cn = “t130” or “T130” ISBN (EAN)n = “t131” or “T131” ISBN (UPC-E)n = “t132” or “T132” EAN 128 set An = “t133” or “T133” EAN 128 set Bn = “t134” or “T134” EAN 128 set C

This parameter selects the bar code mode as above. When n is “t5” or “T5”,the bar code mode (EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according to thenumber of characters in the data.

APPENDICES

Appendix�25

" Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing

n = “s0” or “S0” 3 : 1 (default)n = “s1” or “S1” 2 : 1n = “s3” or “S3” 2.5 : 1

This parameter selects the bar code style as above. When the EAN 8, EAN13, UPC-A, Code 128 or EAN 128 bar code mode is selected, this bar codestyle parameter is ignored.

Expanded Character“S” 0 = White

1 = Black2 = Vertical stripes3 = Horizontal stripes4 = Cross hatch

eg. “S” n1 n2n1 = Background fill patternn2 = Foreground fill pattern

If “S” is followed by only one parameter, the parameteris a foreground fill pattern.

Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing“S” 1 = Black

2 = Vertical stripes3 = Horizontal stripes4 = Cross hatch

" Bar Code

n = “mnnn” or “Mnnn” (nnn = 0 ~ 32767)

This parameter specifies the bar code width. The unit of "nnn" is %.

Appendix�26

" Bar Code Human Readable Line On or Off

n = “r0” or “R0” Human readable line OFFn = “r1” or “R1” Human readable line ON

Default: Human readable line ON(1) “T5” or “t5”(2) “T6” or “t6”(3) “T130” or “t130”(4) “T131” or “t131”

Default: Human readable line OFFAll others

This parameter specifies whether or not the printer prints the humanreadable line below the bar code. Human readable characters are alwaysprinted with OCR-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character styleenhancements are masked. Note that the default setting is subject to the barcode mode selected by “t” or “T”.

" Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing Offset inX-axis

n = “xnnn” or “Xnnn”

This parameter specifies the offset from the left margin in the “u”- or “U”-specified unit.

" Bar Code & Expanded Character Offset in Y-axis

n = “ynnn” or “Ynnn”

This parameter specifies the downward offset from the current print positionin the “u”- or “U”-specified unit.

" Bar Code, Expanded Character, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing Height

n = “hnnn”, “Hnnn”, “dnnn”, or “Dnnn”

(1) EAN13, EAN8, UPC-A, ISBN (EAN13, EAN8, UPC-A),ISBN (UPC-E): 22 mm

(2) UPC-E: 18 mm(3) Others: 12 mm

Expanded characters � 2.2 mm (default)Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing � 1 dot

This parameter specifies the height of bar codes or expanded characters asabove. It can take the prefix “h”, “H”, “d”, or “D”. The height of bar codes isspecified in the “u”- or “U”-specified unit. Note that the default setting of thebar code height (12 mm, 18 mm or 22 mm) is subject to the bar code modeselected by “t” or “T”.

" Expanded Character Width, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing

n = “wnnn” or “Wnnn”

Expanded character � 1.2 mmLine Block Drawing & Box Drawing � 1 dot

This parameter specifies the width of expanded characters as above.

Appendix�28

" Expanded Character Rotation

n = “a0” or “A1” Upright (default)n = “a1” or “A1” Rotated 90 degreesn = “a2” or “A2” Upside down, rotated 180 degreesn = “a3” or “A3” Rotated 270 degrees

" Bar Code Data Start

n = “b” or “B”

Data that follows “b” or “B” is read in as bar code data. Bar code data mustend with the “ \ ” code (5CH), which also terminates this command. Theacceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by “t” or“T”.

• When CODE 39 is selected with the parameter “t0” or “T0”:

Forty three characters “0” to “9”, “A” to “Z”, “-”, “ . ”, “ (space)”, “$”, “ / ”, “+”,and “%” can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause dataerror. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar codedata automatically starts and ends with an asterisk “ * ” (start character andstop character). If the received data has an asterisk “ * ” at its beginning orend, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character.

• When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter “t1” or “T1”:

Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. Othercharacters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is notlimited. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the barcode data has odd characters, the zero character “0” is automatically addedto the end of the bar code data.

• When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter “t3” or “T3”:

Characters “A” to “D” are valid and 1 digit of data can be printed. Uppercaseand lowercase alphabet characters can be accepted.

• When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter “t4” or “T4”:

Characters “0” to “9” can be data and it must be terminated by a check digit.“?” can be used in place of the check digit.

Appendix�29

• When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter “t5” or “T5”:

Ten numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data. Thenumber of characters for bar codes is limited as follows.

EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)

A number of characters other than above causes data error and the barcode data is printed as normal print data. If the check digit is incorrect, theprinter calculates the correct check digit automatically so that the correct barcode data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding “+” and a 2-or 5-digit number after the data can create an add-on code.

• When UPC-E is selected with the parameter “t6” or “T6”:

The numerical characters “0” to “9” can be accepted as bar code data.(1) 8 digits Standard format. The first character

must be “0” and the data must be terminated bya check digit.Total 8 digits = “0” + 6 digits + 1 check digit.

(2) 6 digits The first character and the lastcheck digit are removed from the 8 digit data.

*1: For 8 digits, “?” can be used in place of a check digit. *2: Adding “+” and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates

an add-on code for all 6 and 8 digit formats.

• When Codabar is selected with the parameter “t9” or “T9”:

Characters “0” to “9”, “-”, “ . ”, “$”, “/”, “+”, “ : ” can be printed. Characters “A”to “D” can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be uppercase orlowercase. If there is no start-stop code, errors occur. A check digit cannotbe added and using “?” causes errors.

• When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter “t12”or “T12,” “t13” or “T13,” or “t14” or “T14” respectively:

Code 128 sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodescharacters Hex 00 … 5F. Set B encodes characters Hex 20 … 7F. Set Cencodes numeric pairs 00 … 99. Switching is allowed between the codesets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1,%2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The “%” character can beencoded by sending it twice.

Appendix�30

• When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter “t130” or “T130”:

Same rules apply as for “t5” or “T5”

• When ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter “t131” or “T131”:

Same rules apply as for “t6” or “T6”

• When EAN 128 set A, set B or set C is selected with the parameter “t132” or“T132”, “t133” or “T133” or “t134” or “T134” respectively:

Same rules apply as for “t12” or “T12”, “t13” or “T13”, or “t14” or “T14”.

" Box Drawing

ESC i … E (or e)

“E” or “e” is a terminator.

" Line Block Drawing

ESC i … V (or v)

“V” or “v” is a terminator.

" Expanded Character Data Start

n = “l” or “L”

Data that follows “l” or “L” is read in as expanded character data (or labelingdata). Expanded character data must end with the “ \ ” code (5CH), whichalso terminates this command.
